Prayer to the Holy Trees of Thailand

Now in Thailand, again and again... it's the so called smokey season, when all the mountains of the wide area of northern Thailand as well as neighboring countries, fall victim of extensive wild fires, burning over and over all these lush beautiful forests.
  

My prayer goes to two holy trees in Chiangmai for all the suffering of the living beings in the area during this very harsh time of abuse the Nature and increased air pollution:
may this end soon and never happen again!

This is one of my favorite trees in Chiangmai: it's the bodhi tree on the side of Sithiwong road, reaching out in every direction for maybe 20 meters from the trunk! It's just gorgeous...

At the basis a small spirit's house is marking the spot with ultimate grace.

You can see it almost in real-life here...
and pray for all the forests of Thailand!

Another amazing bodhi tree, not far from the previous one along the moat, offers stunning views from the very busy ring of traffic around the old town. At its basis it's still sprouting from every direction... so vigorously!

This tree has been growing across the tall fence that protects a Buddhist temple. You can see it almost in real-life here...
and pray for all the forests of Thailand!
